Size Matters
Disclaimer: I don’t own any of the, Charmed characters they all belong to Aaron Spelling productions except Melissa Hale who’s my own creation.
Authors Notes: This’s series three of my, Charmed season, which
continues a week after “All Hell Breaks Loose”
Note: Hiya folks & welcome to my new season of Charmed. My
stories will be different as they were then but still have the same
outcome so the episodes fit together. Everyone who was there
will still, be here minus Prue & Phoebe who’re dead of course &
some other characters that were introduced will be back this
season. I’ll still be using spells from the show & some I create
myself which’ll be different but still have the same affect & better
sounding. I may, use some stories from season two as episode
fillers to outweigh the main storyline going on here or I mayn’t. I’ll
see about that when it comes along.
Extra Note: In episode five Paige, Piper & Melissa investigate a
creepy old house when Paige gets a weird feeling about it. The
horrible truths revealed when a demon called Gamill shrinks
Melissa & traps her inside a mould of clay. Paige meets a guy
who’s linked to the house & P Three has a major overhaul.
Episode Five
P Three Clubroom
Piper’s walking around the room listening to the new manager
Treat talking about changes in the club. White gauzes hanging
down from the ceiling & some workmen are around some of the
tables.
“Okay I’m thinking some white gauze curtains would give this
place some flair”. “You know what I’m saying?” “Then we’ll take
out these tables over here”. “Replace them with mounds of
pillows so people can lay back & get comfortable”.
Treat stops when he sees Piper’s worried face.
“You look worried, baby girl”.
Piper says “Well Treat uh I know I gave you the authority to
make some changes in the club, but I thought they would happen
gradually”. “You know, I don’t want to shock the regulars”.
Treat replies “Of course you do Piper”. “This places too safe too
nineties” “It won’t survive unless you get with the times. Now do
you trust me?” “Do you trust the number one club promoter in all
of San Francisco?”
Piper relents nodding her head.
“Yes, of course.”
Treat pats Piper on the back.
“Good.” “Alright, guys. Rip it all out!”
Some builders rip out the table & chairs situated over in the
corner of the club where the Charmed Ones usually sit. Piper
covers her mouth in shock. Treat walks away as Melissa comes
over angrily looking seeing what’s happened also.
“Mel sweetie hey.”
Piper sees her face.
“Oh”. “Okay look I know things seem different but”.
“Damn straight they do”. Mel replies.
“But since Prue & Phoebe died & with us teaching Paige the clubs
suffered & we need to get that back”.
“By making major changes?”
“If necessary yes” Piper comments.
“Like going over my head completely & changing the line up
here”.
Piper’s face scrunches up a bit confused.
“What changes?” she asks.
“Not letting me book bands without Treats authorization”.
Piper looks a little more confused.
“You don’t need Treats authorization”.
Melissa’s face frowns more.
“Well he says I do”. “& that I can’t have Aerosmith here”.
“But our busiest days tomorrow” “We need Aerosmith here.
We’ve booked them already”.
“Well then you’d better talk to Treat, because if we can’t have
Aerosmith here then I can’t find anyone else by tomorrow”.
Piper sighs running her fingers through her hair.
“Okay um”. “TREAT!”
Piper shouts out over to him. He comes over to her & Melissa.
“Yo Piper?”
“What’s this about Aerosmith not playing here tomorrow?
“Yeah I got a great DJ lined up so we don’t need them”.
“But Mel booked them in advance Treat we can’t go back on that”.
“Aerosmith are so eighties early nineties Piper.” “We need people
that’re with the times.”
Melissa’s face goes shocked at that.
“Aerosmith aren’t old Treat.” “There one of the biggest rock
bands in the world & have sold millions of albums.” “There are a
lot of people looking forward to seeing them.”
Piper butts in.
“Treat when I employed you as manager I said your job was to
oversea things & make sure everything was alright & comment on
anything you thought would benefit the club more not take over
running it completely.” “Mel’s the entertainment manager so she
organizes that side of things which’s how it’s always been”.
“& the taking’s have been down since she’s not been here a lot”.
“Well we’ve had a personal tragedy so we’ve not been able to
focus on the club properly”.
“Which’s why you employed me Piper to make sure P Three
doesn’t go the same way as other nightclubs have.” “Trust my
judgment baby. I know what I’m doing okay?”
Melissa butts in saying. “Well I don’t.”
Treat turns his head to Melissa.
“Then if you don’t like it you can leave if you want.”
“Maybe I will.” Melissa retorts.
Turning left she walks towards the stairs. Piper goes after her
but Treat stops.
“MEL! WAIT!”
Melissa walks upstairs as Paige walks down them.
“Mel hey I wanna talk to you about”
Melissa ignores her continuing upstairs. Paige looks a little
shocked at that.
“Whoa hey what’s wrong with her?” she thinks to herself.
Turning round she walks downstairs more.
“Piper don’t, leave her to it.” “The club doesn’t, really need her.”
Treat explains.
Piper turns round to Treat.
“But”
Treat puts his arm around Piper’s.
“Come on girl lets go on”.
There about to walk away when Paige comes up, to them
shocked.
“Piper hey what’s the matter with Mel?
She sees what’s going on in the room.
“& what’s going on here especially with our table?”
“Mel’s got some issues with the club because we’re making some
changes here.”
“& who said our table could be ripped out?”
“I did.” Treat says.
Paige looks at Treat confused.
“I’m sorry you are?
Piper replies “This is Treat Taylor Paige. The new manager at P
Three
Treat shakes her hand. Paige appears more confused at that
information.
“I-I-I’m sorry new manager?”
“Just on a trial basis” Piper says.
“So why did Mel leave then?”
“Because Treat’s booked a DJ for tomorrow”
Paige’s eyes scrunch up a bit.
“But I thought Aerosmith were playing here?”
“Well Treat wanted someone more update like”.
“But Mel’s entertainment manager”.” He can’t do that”.
“& I said if she didn’t agree with my accommodation she could
leave so she did”. Treat says.
“Okay then” Paige quips.
She takes Piper over to the side away from Treat.
“Piper I thought you weren’t making any major changes so soon
after loosing your sisters?”
“Yeah well like it or not there’ve been a lot of changes lately, &
this’s hardly the biggest. Paige what I’m doing’s not by choice.
They’re by necessity. Okay? P Three’s been struggling lately &
me, Mel need to pay the remortgage on the house & the bills also.
“If you’re stuck for money I can lend you some”.
“No Paige thank you” “But unless your job pays two hundred
grand a year that would really make a difference. Otherwise, I’d
rather you be free for other work.
“Yeah about that listen I wanted to talk to Mel about something
but since she left”.
“Okay what’s it about?” Piper says.
Paige steadies herself ready to say what she says.
“Alright, have you ever walked by a house & got a really bad
creepy feeling from it?” “Okay, I’m on my way to get coffee every
morning & I walk by this house & I get... this shiver.
Piper looks quizitively at her.
“Shiver?”
Paige nods her head.
“Yeah does it mean anything?”
“It’s a shiver.” Piper replies.
“No, I’ve always just, dismissed it as a bad case of the creeps,
but now that I’m half whitelighter /Half witch & Mel told me I could
sense evil I thought it might be something like that.
“Well, do you know anything about the house?”
“Just that this cute guy named Finn lives there” “We bumped into
each other at the grocery store & I flirted a little.” “You know
done the, are these melons ripe thing.”
“Well, that sounds like you have the hot’s not the
creeps.” “Either way, I think it’s a good idea that you stay away
from this Finn guy.
“No, I don’t get the shiver from him just the house.” “I think I’m
onto something.”
“Well I think when you’ve been a witch more than a few months
you’ll know the difference between sensing evil & needing a
warmer jacket.
“So you don’t want to check it out then?”
“Not any time soon.”
“But, I’m not making this up Piper.” “Mel wouldn’t brush of what I
said.”
“I know but there’s not a lot to go on Paige.” “Look I have to get
on doing the club but I’ll talk to you later okay?”
Paige relents even though she doesn’t want to.
“Okay.”
“Okay.” “Stay away from that Finn guy.”
Piper turns round & walks away a little.
Finn’s House
He pulls up into the driveway with a woman named Claudia on
his motorcycle.
“Geez, Finn. You live here.” The girl asks amazed.
“It needs work.” “Okay, lots of work, but it’s nicer inside.” “I’ll
show you.”
“I must be outta my mind.”
Finn looks at her little nervous.
“Why?“
“I don’t know.” “Going home with a guy I just met.”
“Come on. What are you afraid of?”
Inside House
They enter the house. Finn tries to turn on the light, but it
doesn’t work.
“I keep meaning to get that fixed.”
“It’s kinder dark here, Finn.”
“You’re a little old to be scared of the dark, aren’t you?” “Maybe I
should go check the circuit breaker.”
The woman grabs onto Finn tightly.
“Wait, don’t go.”
“It’s okay.”
He leaves & a demon watches Claudia from behind a hole in the
wall. Claudia hears something.
“Who’s there?”
The demon named Gammill, comes out from behind & uses his
wand & shrinks her as she screams.

Various parts of San Francisco bay & city are been shown
whilst “The Potter Knows The Clay” by The Perry’s is playing.
I know you are going through the fire Its getting hard to stand
the heat
But even harder is the wondering Is God’s hand still on me
Its lonely in the flames When you’re counting days of pain
Chorus
But the Potter knows the clay How much pressure it can take
How many times around the wheel ‘Til there’s submission to His
will
He’s planned a beautiful design but it’ll take some fire and time
Its gonna be okay ‘cause the Potter knows the clay
Friend I just came through that fire Not too very long ago
& looking back I can see why & that my God was in control
But on the hottest days I'd cry Oh Lord, isn't it about time
Manor Hallway
Melissa’s opens the door then slams it shut & walks towards the
kitchen.
Lounge
Leo levitating up hearing this lowers himself down & walks out
towards the noise.
Kitchen
Coming in Melissa sets her bag down then goes over to the
cupboard & gets out one of Lucky’s dog food tins & opens that up
with the tin opener she gets outta the cutlery drawer & puts that
inside his clean bowl. Leo comes in & talks to her.
“Hey sweetie you okay?”
Melissa turns round making Leo see, her angry look.
“What’s the matter Mel?”
She throws the tin in the bin & the opener in the sink.
“Aerosmith aren’t playing at P Three.”
“But you booked them, months ago.” “Did flyers, newspaper ads,
& radio announcements.”
She goes to the back door opening it up letting Lucky come in
who goes over to his food & starts eating it.
“Well the new manager Treat Taylor’s booked a DJ instead.”
“You’re in charge of entertainment Mel he can’t do that.”
“Which’s why I’ve quit” “He can explain to Aerosmith’s manager
why there not playing instead.”
Leo’s eyes widen hearing that.
“You’ve what?” “Why?”
Melissa walks up to the middle room table.
“Because I’ve dignity dad” “I’d rather quit than let someone tell
me what to do or fire me themselves.”
They hear a knock on the back door & see Paige standing there.
“Hi um can I come in?” “I just tried the front door but no-one was
answering.”
“Sure yeah” Leo says.
“Thanks.”
Paige steps inside & closes the door.
“So what can we do for you Paige?” Leo asks.
Paige looks at Melissa.
“Okay well you know how you were teaching me about sensing
good & evil earlier this week.”
Melissa nods her head.
“Yeah?”
“Well I’m not sure exactly but I think might’ve sensed evil.”
“How?” Leo says.
“Okay I know this sounds silly, but there’s this house I walk by &
I get this really bad feeling from it.” “I’ve already discussed it with
Piper but she dismissed it.”
“Is there a story about the house that it maybe haunted or
something & so that’s why you feel bad about it?” Melissa says.
Paige shakes her head.
“No.” “The house needs repairing but.”
“Well if it’s not been inhabited in a long time then it’s perfectly
normal.” Leo replies.
Paige shakes her head again.
“No a guy does live there Finn.”
“Alright you want us to check it out?” Melissa comments.
Paige nods her head.
“If you could yeah” “But if your busy then don’t worry about it”
Melissa shakes her head.
“No that’s okay.” “I’ve quit my job now so I’ve all the free time in
the world.”
Paige’s mouth opens in shock.
“Oh my god Piper just said you had issues with Treat.”
“Yeah well like I said to dad I’d rather quit than let someone tell
me what to do or fire me themselves.” “So when do you wanna
go now then?”
“I‘ve work so I can’t but I, could meet you after four
perhaps.” “I’ll give you the address.” “I just, uh, need, uh, pen &
paper.
A pen & paper orb into her hand. Paige, smiles.
“I love having this power.” “Alright I’ll see you later there guys.”
Thanks.
“Sure Paige.” Leo says.
Paige turns around & walks out the back door.
“Alright let’s go then”. Melissa replies.
She turns round & walks outta the kitchen.
Hallway
Coming up to the stairs Melissa goes up them a bit.
“Hey don’t you wanna get your weapons from the basement?”
Leo says.
Turning round, Melissa replies.
“I will after I’ve changed into my work clothes & got my car keys”.
“Do you want me to orb you there?”
“No thanks dad it’s only a house.” “If anything happens I’ll call
you”.
Veering back Melissa continues on upstairs.
Clubroom
Treat’s showing Piper new waitresses uniforms with the name
The Spot on it.
“Woo, now that’s what I’m talking about.”
Piper just stands there dumbstruck.
“You’re changing the name of the club?”
“Yeah well that’s the plan. You know?”
Piper’s face crumbles in horror.
“What’s wrong with P Three?”
“Well, when we asked people what they thought that meant
most of them said a parking level.” “I mean I don’t even know
what it stands for.
“It stood for Prue, Phoebe & Piper.” “Sisters we were P Three.”
“Yeah, but if this new images happening it deserves a new name.
Otherwise, no one will know what it is. You know what I’m
saying?” “Look, if you’re dead against it I can take it all down,
change things around, whatever you want me to do baby girl.”
Thinking for a moment Piper pictures her sisters & her in her mind
but backing into reality she shakes her head.
“No, it’s just another change. So, you do what you want.”
“You cool?”
“Yeah.”
“You sure?”
Piper nods her head.
“Yeah.”
Treat pats her on the right.
“Alright.”
He goes over & talks to the designer who done the uniforms.
Outside Finn’s House
Melissa pulls up outside in her green Jeep Liberty & switches the
engine off. Turning left she looks upon Finn’s house checking the
note Paige wrote seeing if it’s the right one. A few seconds
afterwards she undoes her seatbelt & grabs her satchel beside &
opens the door up & gets out closing the window & locks it.
Putting the satchel over her shoulder Melissa crosses the clear
road & walks up to the house & climbs up the steps to the front
door. She knocks on the door but no-one answers. Melissa tries
again & just about walks away when the door opens up by itself.
She sways round hearing it.
“Okay”.
Getting out one of her handguns from her handbag Melissa
points it straight ahead & walks inside cautiously. She looks
round seeing if anyone’s in as well as keeping her mind open also.
“Hello?” Melissa calls out.
Gammill watches her from the hole in the wall. Walking on a little
further into the main room Melissa speaks out again.
Main Room
“Anybody home?”
Seeing a collection of little dolls with looks of horror on their faces
Melissa puts her gun down & picks up one, of them & gets a
premonition of the girl before been shrunken & drops the doll
afterwards smashing it on the floor. She picks her gun up & turns
round to leave but Gammill comes out from behind the wall &
shouts.
“No!”
He uses his wand & shrinks Melissa & her gun quickly before she
shoots him. Stopping to about ten centimeters Melissa looks up
seeing huge Gammill above her.
“Uh-oh!”
She runs over to a table trying not to make a sound. Gammill
looks for shrunken Melissa.
“Where are you? You can’t have gone that far.”
Looking up worried, Melissa whispers upward for Leo.
“Dad? Dad?”
She doesn’t get an answer being so small. Gammill finds her.
“Oh! Oh!”
Melissa fires her small gun at his leg barely hitting him. She runs
across the floor to the couch which Gammill sees her do.
“I see you.”
Melissa astral projects in behind & pokes him with an athame
causing him to flinch up in pain a little making him look down upon
her tiny astral self. Gammill bends down & picks her up looking at
her.
“Well, well lookey here a witch.”
Astral Melissa disappears before he crushes her giving her real
self enough time to climb up an arm leg of the table to the top
which Gammill spots in the end.
“Okay witch. We’ll see how long you last.”
Going to the cupboard on the other side Gammill gets out a
vacuum cleaner & turns it on pointing it directly at Melissa.
“Oh, this sucks.”
She runs along the ledge.
Clubroom
Leo & Paige orb into a secure area. Paige wobbles a bit.
“Uh I can’t get used to this orbing thing.”
“You will. You’ve got in you.” Leo says.
“Yeah but I feel like my stomach’s goanna come outta me.” Paige
replied back.
They go look for Piper who’s inside her office talking to
Aerosmith’s manager on the phone.
Piper’s Office
“Yes Mr Walsh I completely understand how you feel & offer my
sincere apologies about what’s happened. Of course you’ll get a
full refund. Yes I understand. Goodbye Mr. Walsh.
She hangs up & puts the phone down then leans back in her
chair sighing eyes closed & stroking her hand through her hair.
Getting up she walks out a moment later.
Clubroom
Coming back in Piper, sees Paige & Leo scouring upon her.
Trotting up she sees goes over to them seeing Leo’s widened
eyes at the shock of the different look of the club.
“Wow uh, what’s with the white gauze? It’s worse than up
there.”
“It was Treat’s idea.”
Paige notices Piper’s dampened look.
“Hey what’s up?”
“I just spoke to Aerosmith’s manager who wasn’t best pleased
about us canceling on him & the band.” “What’re you guys doing
here anyway?” Piper says.
“We orbed in.” Paige comments.
Piper’s eyes narrow close.”
“Together?”
“Yeah, we were worried about Mel.” “She was supposed to meet
me at the creepy house, but she never showed so I thought
maybe she got hung up.” “So I went to your place &.”
Piper replies “Paige I thought we decided not to investigate the
so-called creepy house.”
“Well, I know you did but Mel & Leo disagreed.”
Piper narrows her eyes in a bit more.
“Oh, so you went behind my back & asked them then?”
“She didn’t go behind your back Piper. “I’m her white lighter, too
& Mel’s training her so”. Leo says.
“Right well, it’s a smart thing to do as a witch, but an annoying
thing to do as a sister. So what happened to Mel?”
“I don’t know.” “After she quit” Leo replies.
Piper’s eyes widen hearing that.
“Quit?”
Leo answered back. “Yeah Mel didn’t like Treat telling her what to
do so she quit rather than he fire her”.
Piper hangs her head down in shame then raises it back up again.
“Okay go, on”.
“Well I checked my radar, but she dropped to the tiniest blip.”
“& what would account for that?”
Leo tells Piper worried looking.
“I don’t know, but I don’t like it”
Piper shakes her head.
“No Mel’s resourceful. Nothing would happen to her”.
“Unless it was something she couldn’t fight”. Paige comments.
Piper looks ahead thinking of the offal truth. Coming back to
reality she starts walking towards the stairs
“Alright we need to get to the house.”
“I knew something was going on there.” Paige replies walking
behind Piper.
“Uh-huh, okay. Let’s hold the congratulations till we find Mel.”
As they leave the workmen break the P Three sign down. Leo
looks at Piper from behind.
“Piper?”
Piper just stares at the sign obliviously.
“Doesn’t, matter. P Three doesn’t exist anymore.”
Paige looks at the broken sign downheartedly.
Finn’s House Interior
Melissa’s grabbing onto a couch for dear life. Gammill’s trying to
suck her into the vacuum cleaner. Finn enters. Gammill shouts
out.
“Watch out! One’s loose! Shut the door. Shut it!”
“What’re you goanna do with her when you find her Gamill?” Finn
asks.
Gammill grunts that answer.
“Don’t ask questions.”
Finn looks worried.
“The same thing you did with the other one?”
Gammill shuts off the vacuum cleaner. Melissa relaxes. Gamill
turns angrily at Finn.
“I said don’t ask questions the other one. Still, that... that gives
me an idea.”
He goes & takes out Claudia he shrunk earlier covered in clay.
“Do you want me to?”
Gammill puts his right handed finger to his mouth.
“Shh.”
Melissa sees Claudia trying to say help me. Finn spies the doors
still open.
“The doors still open.”
Gamill replies back angrily.
“Well shut it then.”
Finn does so.
Outside Finn’s House
Piper, Leo & Paige arrive in Piper’s Jeep Cherokee. Looking ahead
they see Melissa’s Jeep Liberty sitting where it was before.
“Mel’s car” Piper, replies.
“So she’s here then”. Leo says worriedly.
“Inside that house” Paige comments looking at it. “Oh I hate the sight of it”.
“Paige you don’t have to be a super witch to know that house’s
creepy.”
“Well I tried to tell you Piper but.”
“Yeah well you don’t have to ram it down my throat alright.”
Paige puts her hands up in defeat.
“Fine” “Hey where’s Cole? Why isn’t he helping here?”
“He’s deep down in the underworld trying to evade more bounty
hunters.” Leo says.
“Look there’s a motorcycle in the driveway maybe somebody’s
home.”
“Okay, we get out & go up to the front door. You knock I’ll
freeze.” Piper replies.
“You don’t always have control over your powers Piper. You might
blow up an innocent.” Leo says.
“Okay, then how about you orb in, check out the place, & tell us
what we’re up against.”
“I’ve an idea”. Paige comments.
“Well, the problem with that’s what if what we’re dealing with’s
not supernatural. Then I’ve orbed into somebody’s living room &
we’ve risked exposure.”
Paige tries butting in saying.
“I mean if I just”
Piper & Leo ignore her as they continue arguing.
“Which’s why I say we go with the freeze then no exposure or
don’t you care about our daughter & what could’ve happened to
her in there?”
Leo answers shocked raising his voice at that remark.
“How can you say that Piper of, course I care about Mel. I’d die
for her”.
Not taking it anymore Paige puts her fingers in her mouth &
whistles at them two.
“Hey I’m here to, you know or can’t I get an edge ways in?”
Piper & Leo apologize to her.
“Sorry Paige”. “Yeah sorry Paige”
“Okay thanks.” “Now I know we’re worried about Mel but arguing
about it won’t help. Now I think I can get Finn outta the house.”
Piper looks at her inquisitively.
“How?”
“Well, I know the guy. I’ll just go in, lure him out, & you two can
go in & snoop around.
“No. We can’t let you go off with a potential demon. It’s too
dangerous. Right, Leo?”
“Actually, it sounds like our best bet.”
“What are you siding with Paige now?”
“No there are no sides. &, yes.
Piper claps her hands knowing the truth.
“Huh!”
“Look, I know I’m new to magic, but if I’m goanna learn how to
be a witch then I need some experience.”
“& I’m just trying to protect you.”
“That’s nice, Piper but you’re protecting me maybe hurting
Mel.” “Now I got her into this so please let me help get her outta
it.”
After a while Piper relents.
“Okay, fine go.” “But until we know who this Finn guy is & what
he does, I don’t want you alone with him. Take him to P Three,
or – I mean, The Spot.”
“Got it”
Paige gets out a lollipop.
“Uh Paige what did Mel & I tell you about that habit?”
“I’m using it as a lure not because I’m nervous”.
Paige gets outta the car.
“Do not go into that house. Did you hear me Paige? I said do not
go in!” Piper says.
Paige leaves.
“It’s like talking to a brick wall.”
“Well she’s certainly got the Halliwell hearing.” Leo replies.
Inside Finn’s House
Melissa finishes climbing up the arm leg of a table to Claudia in
clay.
“Whoa I didn’t know climbing up here would be such hard work
being small. “Man that’s one hell of a work out”.
She looks over at Claudia.
“Hey my name’s Melissa.” “Can you hear me?”
Claudia whimpers yes.
“Okay. Just close your eyes & don’t tense up.” “I’m goanna break
you out”
Melissa spins round & breaks apart the clay. Claudia starts collapsing.
“No, no. You can collapse later. Right now I need you to run. Can
you do that?”
Claudia nods her head.
“Yeah”
“Okay good. We’ve gotta go before Gammill sees us.”
Gammill comes up & traps them under a glass cup.
“Gotcha witch.” “I knew you could never resist saving an
innocent.”
Melissa tries shattering the glass repeatedly with her foot but
has no luck.
Outside Finn’s House
Paige knocks on the front door.
“Hello!”
Main Room
Gamill replies angry been interrupted.
“Now what?” Gammill says.
Outside Finn’s House
Paige knocks again. Gamill spies who it is from the main room.
“Hello!”
Main Room
Gamill turns round looking at Finn.
“Another girl.” Get her inside. Go get her. Get her!”
Finn looks at Gamill a little worried.
“Maybe we should just let them go Gamill.” Finn comments.
Gamill walks towards Finn.
“Since when did you develop a conscience?” “Hmm? I never gave
you one.” “Now what’re you standing around for? Go! Go! Fetch!”
Finn goes to answer the door. Melissa tries yelling out.
“Be quiet!” Gamill yells.
Gammill puts them in a container.
Outside Finn’s House
Finn opens the door seeing Paige
“Hi!” Paige says
“Hi!” Finn replies.
“Remember me? The girl with the melons from the supermarket
melons”
“Yeah, I remember. What brings you here?”
“Let’s just say I got tired of waiting for you to show up on my
doorstep.”
Finn looks confused.
“I’m sorry?”
“Look, if we’re goanna go out, the first thing you need to know
about me’s that I don’t play games.” “I see what I want & I go
for it.” “Do you have a problem with that?”
“Are you always this aggressive with guys?”
Paige puts the lollipop in her mouth teasing like.
“Just the ones I like.”
Finn points his left arm into the house.
“Why don’t you come in?”
Paige hesitates.
“Is something wrong?” Finn asks.
Paige answers trying not, to look guilty.
“Oh, just the old cliché” “My mother told me never to go into
stranger’s houses. That thing”
Finn bays his hand towards Paige.
“Come on. What’re you afraid of?”
Piper & Leo watching in the, car.
“Don’t do it.” Piper says.
Inside Finn’s House
Gammill watches through the hole in the wall inside the house.
“Do it.”
Outside Finn’s House
Paige starts to enter the house but Finn stops her.
“No, wait. On second thought, let’s just go out.”
Finn & Paige leave the front door & go over top Finn’s motorbike.
Leo & Piper see this.
“The lure worked.” Leo says.
Paige & Finn drive away on his motorcycle. Paige waves at them.
“Barely” Piper replies.
Main Room
Coming back in Gammill goes to Melissa & Claudia.
“Now where were we?”
Leo & Piper orb in which Gammill sees & hides. Melissa tries to
contact them using her small voice.
“Leo! Piper!”
They don’t hear her.
“Okay you go that way. I’ll go this way.” Piper says.
Melissa waves her hands inside the container hoping that works.
“In here!”
Piper looks round & finds the demon’s collection of small dolls.
“Oh, that’s weird” she comments.
Leo comes over to her.
“Wow what a bizarre collection.”
Piper just about touches it but Leo stops her.
“I wouldn’t touch. We should look for Mel. I’ll check upstairs.”
Leo does that as Melissa waves her hands still inside the
container trying again to get there notice.
“Leo! Piper!”
Piper can’t hear her still. Leo comes back in worried.
“There’s nothing upstairs. I mean nothing. Anything down here? “
Piper shakes her head worried to.
“No nothing but a bunch of clays.” “I don’t get it Leo Mel should
be here her cars outside but we can’t find her.”
Piper continues more upset now.
“Where the hell is she?”
Pulling her close Leo hugs her resting his head on hers.
“I don’t know honey but we’ll find her though I promise. Although
I think we should get outta here first though & check the Book of
Shadows. I-I wanna know what we’re dealing with.”
Piper nods her head.
“Well, whatever it is it better not require the Power of Three to vanquish it.” Piper adds.
They orb out & Gamill goes over to Melissa.
“Well, well the Power of Three. So you’re not just a witch, but a
Charmed One also. Nothing will make me happier than collecting
you all.”
Time lapse later Gammill puts Melissa & Claudia into clay.
“When your clay hardens, I’ll fire up the kiln & once you’re in the
kiln, there’ll be nothing left to save. Don’t worry. I’ll be back. Once
I complete my collection.
He leaves the house. Melissa speaks out once the coasts clear.
“Okay, good. Now that he’s gone, I can focus on getting us outta
here.”
She looks at Claudia next to her.
“Although, I must tell you I’m not having the best day of my life
which began with me quitting my job after the new manager at P
Three went over my head & booked a DJ to play there instead of
Aerosmith which made me feel this big, & now I actually am this
big. & next up’s being baked.
Claudia shrieks at that comment.
“Well, that’s just a round about word of saying don’t
panic.” “Listen I’m goanna get us outta here okay don’t
worry.” “Although astral projecting would be useless since mo- I
mean Piper didn’t hear me earlier when I waved at her so she
wouldn’t see me now either meaning I’ll have to think of
something else which I’m goanna do.” “I’m goanna turn... this day around.”
Her mouth closes up as the clay around her hardens up.
Attic
Piper & Leo are looking through the Book of Shadows.
“Found him! Gammill a.k.a. The Collector.”He’s known for his
passion of collecting one of a kind, figurines.” “Wonder what he
gets outta that?” Leo comments.
“Well, speaking of my great-aunt Sylvia, who collects Hummels,
when they’ve a hard time dealing with real people figurines can
be their best friends.”
“Yeah, but being socially awkward doesn’t land you in the Book of
Shadows.”
“Then what does?” Piper says.
Looking down the page more Leo finds out.
“Well, apparently he went up against a witch sometime in the
seventies.” “They cast a spell that made him as hideous on the
outside as he was on the inside.” “Like this I suppose.”
He points to the picture of Gamill there.
“Does it say what he did to deserve that?”
Leo fins down a little further.
“No, which doesn’t make any sense either” “I mean we saw this
guy & he’s still looks the same.”
“So what does that mean?” Piper replies. “That Gammill found a
way to break the curse & changed his name to Finn?”
“I don’t know, but I’m guessing whoever the guy Paige is with
does.”
“Then we need to find Paige & hope she’s not in trouble so we
can find Mel & hope that she’s not in trouble.”
“Well, I wouldn’t worry about Paige. I mean she’s in a public
place. Nobody’s goanna hurt her at The Spot.”
Paige’s Loft
Paige & Finn walk through the door which Paige closes behind
them.
“Sorry I wasn’t expecting company so just, uh give me a sec to
clean the place up.”
“I really like your place.” Finn, comments.
“Really? It’s a shoe box compared to yours.”
“Yeah well I’m really glad I didn’t bring you in.” “You know this’s
the first time a girl’s ever invited me back to her place.”
“Well, I just thought the club was kinder noisy & we could, hang
out here.” “Um, first actually I have a question.”
Finn appears uneasy at this.
“About what?”
“About your house” Paige says.
Finn turns himself away from her.
“I don’t really wanna talk about that.”
Paige comes up touching his shoulder.
“Finn if something bad’s going on there, I need you to tell me
about it.” “Please, my cousin could be in trouble.”
After a moment Finn turns round & answers her.
“I don’t know much. It’s only recently that I’ve started asking
questions myself.”
“Asking who?” Paige’s eyes squint in question.
“Gammill”
“What’s his deal?”
“I’m not sure.”
“Well, how do you know him?” Paige asks.
“Because he made me“
Paige’s eyes widen in shock sorter confusion like.
“Made you? What’s that like a Mafia thing?”
“No. Look, give me your hand.”
Finn takes Paige’s hand.
“Put it here.”
He places it on his abdomen.
“Do you feel that? I’m not like you.”
Paige feeling the soft water like consistency of Finn looks up in
total disbelief.
“Oh, my god”
The Spot Clubroom
Piper & Leo orb in undetected into a secure area. There’s loud
music & the waitresses are dancing on the bar. Piper can’t
believe what’s happening.
“Whoa I just got, uh creepy shivers myself”
“Now I’m glad you changed the name.” Leo adds.
Piper covers her mouth seeing the waitresses more up close &
personal.
“Oh! Look at the waitresses!”
She covers Leo’s eyes with her own.
“Oh no! Don’t look! They’re practically removing their spots.”
Leo slants his head slightly in wonder.
“Whoa can you do that in public?”
Seeing his look Piper screwing her face up in disgust moves his
head round to hers.
“Uh! Listen to me. Just go look for Paige. Okay? Go.”
Piper walks toward the back of the club where a bouncer stops
her.
“Hold it! You can’t go in there.”
Piper looks at him a little confused.
“Excuse me?”
“This’s the VIP area.”
“Oh! You’re assuming because I not tall, tattooed, or big
breasted that I’m not important.” “Well that’s a bad assumption
because I own this club. Which makes, me a V.V.VIP.”
Treat comes out to meet her.
“Piper! Piper! Hey.” “She’s good, man.” “What’s up girl?”
“Hi Treat. Things seems, good here.”
“Yeah we sure got a fly crowd tonight.”
“Uh-huh.”
“I told you all it needs a little danger to get it going.”
“Yeah, that’s exactly what this place lacked.” “Listen, um. Have
you seen my sister Paige?”
“Yeah, she was here earlier, but left saying it was too noisy.”
Piper asks him again as she didn’t hear the first time with the
loud noise going on.
“She said what?”
“It was too noisy.” Treat replies.
Piper leaves him & finds Leo trying to get through the crowd, but
is caught in between two dancing waitresses which he doesn't
seem to mind too much.
“Excuse me! Hi! Having fun?” “Let’s go. Paige took Finn to her
loft. Let’s go.”
They go behind a sofa & orb out.
Paige’s Loft
Piper & Leo orb in & go inside. They find Paige kneeling in front of
Finn. Piper’s shocked seeing that.
“Paige!”
Paige turns round in shock seeing Leo & Piper there.
“Hey what’re you doing here?”
Piper answers a little angry.
“This’s ridiculous. It’s like dealing with a teenager.”
Paige gets up defending her actions.
“Excuse me I’m just examining him.”
Piper bites back concerned.
“Okay! First of all, you shouldn’t have left the club.”
Paige tries to butt in but Piper stops a little more angered.
“Piper”
“Second you shouldn’t be playing doctor with the demon boy.”
Paige tries unsuccessfully to get Piper’s attention again.
“Piper”
“Third of all”
Paige raises her voice this time finally getting what she wants.
“Piper! He has no bellybutton okay.” “Now first of we left you’re
club because it sucks alright” “I preferred it better when there
was real music & real bands not hacked up wannabe DJ’s &
sleazy waitresses.” & second of Finn has no bellybutton because
he wasn’t born.
“I was created outta clay.” Finn says.
“In Gammill’s own image. He must be a golem.” Leo comments
thinking.
“I don’t know the technical term, but I do know that he needs protection from the demon that made him.”
Piper says “Okay. Hold up! Where’s Gammill now?”
“At the house, I think.” Finn answers.
Leo scrunches his face a little in confusion.
“But we were just there. We didn’t see him.”
“That’s because he has his own secret hiding place.” Finn
answers.
“Then how’s Gamill hiding our cousin there?
“He probably shrunk her.”
Piper’s eyes widen in shock.
“He what?”
“That’s what he does.” “He takes his wand & shrinks the women
for his collection.”
Leo looks at Piper in sheer horror.
“The figurines, that’s why they’re one of a kind” “Gamill moulds
his victims into clay then fires them & paints over once there,
finished making them that way forever.”
“Okay, we have to go back there & get Mel before she’s gone
completely.” Piper quickly says concerned.
“Careful. If Gammill’s at the house waiting for you, he’ll shrink you all.” “I don’t know why he didn’t before.” Finn, comments.
“Does he still trust you?” Piper replies.
“Yeah.”
“Okay, then you, come with us & go in & distract him first.”
Paige shakes her head.
“No, Piper we can’t use Finn as a minesweeper.” “Besides, isn’t
he an innocent?”
“Innocents are usually real people Paige.”
“& there also people who need help which shouldn’t matter
whether there real or not.” “Now we have to get Mel. First, we
should go by your house, & check the Book of Shadows & see if
there’s a spell to undo shrinking.” “We’ll bring Finn with us.”
“We don’t have time for that Paige.” Piper says.
“But we can’t go in unprepared Piper.” “Mel always told me any
witch should do that before they fight any demon.”
“Normally yes but in circumstances like this unprepared might be
our best shot.”
Piper turns her head to Leo.
“Leo, what do you think?”
He puts his hands up.
“I think you two, need to stop turning to me & start figuring out a
way to listen to each other.” “Piper, you don’t listen to Paige’s
ideas.”
Paige, smiles.
“& Paige, you don’t listen to Piper’s advice.” “I think you guys
need to figure a way out how to work as partners.”
Piper laughs.
“We are partners Leo.”
“Equal partners I mean”
“Well, listen. Can we do that tomorrow? Right now we actually
need your help.” Paige quips.
Leo sighs in frustration at the girls not listening to him.
“Well I think the best I can do helping’s by doing this.”
Leo orbs out leaving, Paige Piper & Finn alone. Piper shouts up at
him.
“Leo! Don’t you abandon your daughter like this now come back
here.”
There’s no answer. Finn looks a little shocked hearing that. Piper
flaps her arms up.
“Great!”
“What now?” Paige asks.
“Well, I’m just goanna have to convince you that I’m right.” Piper adds.
Paige gets frustrated at that.
“Well, we don’t have all day.” “Why don’t we just flip a coin?”
Piper’s face looks out in horror.
“Hello Mel’s life is at stake Paige.”
“All the more reason to make a decision quickly”
Piper relents.
“Fine, flip it.”
Paige gets a coin outta her pocket.
“Call it.”
“Heads” Piper says.
Paige throws the coin & orbs it to tails.
“Tails” “I win fair & square.”
“No you don’t because you used your power & orbed it that
way.”
Paige moves close into Piper.
“Prove it.”
Hallway
Piper, Paige & Finn enter the front door. Piper switches off the
burglar alarm.
“It’s okay. You’ll be safe here.” Paige says to Finn.
“Can I have some water? My skin feels a little dry.”
“Oh, yeah sure” “Kitchen’s just down there to the left.” Paige
points out.
As Finn walks into the entranceway Gammill shatters him with his
wand. The two ladies gasp then scream as he shrinks them both
to.
“Uh-oh!” Piper says as they both look up at Gamill standing over them.
Main Room
Gammill lines up Piper, Melissa, Paige, & Claudia encased in clay
on a shelf.
“Time to fire up the kiln”
He comes over to Claudia.
“You’re next.”
& takes her to the, kiln. Melissa groans helpless not been able to
do anything.
“At least we came for you.” Piper, comments.
Melissa groans in frustration at how late they’ve come.
“Sweetie Paige & I are here now.” “We have the power of
three.” “Can you say a spell?”
Melissa moans.
“Hello she’s all hard up Piper so she can’t talk” Paige says.
“Okay well we’ll have to figure something out then.” “Right let’s
go over our options.”
Paige scrunches her face a bit making the clay mould a little more
about her.
“Options? We have two.” “We’re screwed & more screwed.”
“We don’t need negativity. We need solutions.” Piper says.
“Well, I’m sorry. I’ve never been shrunk & covered in clay before.”
“Hey! You wanted to be partners so work with me here.
Okay?” “Are you right?” “Yeah we are screwed.”
“Can’t you blast your way out of it?” Paige asks.
“No I can’t move my hands.” Piper replies.
“I could call for something, but what would help?” “What’s the
point of having powers if you can’t use them?”
“What about orbing? Has Mel taught you that?”
“Sorter but we haven’t gone over the fine points yet.”
“Then why don’t you try it.”
“Because I can only, do that in the same place & only by fear
response.”
“Well you’ll have to learn to do it without feeling scared sometime
so why not now?” “The clays still wet enough so it might collapse
if you leave for a second.”
Melissa moans agreeably in response.
“Yeah only one problem, I’ve never been able to orb at will before.”
“But that doesn’t mean you can’t right?” “I’m sure Mel’s told you
to concentrate & relax.”
Melissa moans in agreement again. Paige talks a little concerned
now.
“Relax? Are you kidding?”
“Paige, just close your eyes.”
She does so.
“Take a deep breath.” “Feel the magic rising from a place of strength.”
Paige concentrates on that.
“Feel it building & building.” “Paige, you’re our only hope.”
Piper’s mouth closes up as her clay hardens up. Paige orbs & her
clay breaks.
“It worked. How cool was that?”
Her relatives moan.
“I know. I know. I’m coming.”
Paige breaks Piper & Melissa’s clay. Melissa looks over worriedly
at Claudia who’s just about to be put in the oven.
“He’s about to put Claudia into the kiln.” “Mom, freeze him.”
Piper tries, but nothing happens.
“Oh, he’s way too big for my tiny magic.”
“Maybe if I call for his wand & shrink him then he’ll be our
size.” “Whaddya think?”
“That’s a good idea.” “Try it Paige.” Melissa says.
“But make sure you keep your voice down.” “If he hears us, we’ll
be cooked.” Piper adds.
“Wand, wand”
Nothing happens.
“Remember Paige no matter how big or small the object is as
long as you have it in your mind & focus on that it’ll come to you.
Paige nods in response & tries again speaking louder this time.
“Wand!”
The wand orbs to Paige & Gammill hears that. The charmed ones
look up worried.
“Okay we need a spark.”
“Got it!”
Piper gets behind the wand as the other two hold it up & pushes
the switch in making it work shrinking Gamill to their size.
“Uh-oh!” Gamill says seeing how small he is.
“Okay freeze him mom”
Piper does so.
"Don't we need a spell for that & most importantly the family bond thing?" Paige asks.
Melissa nods her head.
"Concerning Gamill no since he’s only a low level demon we should be able to say a spell which’ll work on him although upper levels ones we won’t yet besides the good thing about being stuck in clay all day. You have time to think of one." "Now repeat after me." "SMALL OF MIND BIG OF WOE THE PAIN YOU CAUSED YOU NOW WILL KNOW okay?"
Paige & Piper nod in unison.
"Okay."
The girls turn & look at Gammill & say the spell.
"SMALL OF MIND BIG OF WOE THE PAIN YOU CAUSED YOU NOW WILL KNOW"
Gammill disappears & the girls plus Claudia are transformed back to normal size.
"That's it? That's the spell you spent all day working on?" Paige comments.
"Well, it worked. Didn't it?" Melissa defends.
"Hey you're getting good at that sweetie." "As good as Phoebe maybe"
Melissa smiles at that.
"Thanks Piper."
Claudia looks at them in sheer astonishment.
"Oh, my god how did you do that?"
"Better watch what you say there Mel's very religious."
"Oh sorry" Claudia says. "But how did you do that?"
"The power of three." Paige replies.
"Not until we get the Source and Shax Paige." Piper adds.
Claudia just smiles at been whole again.
The Spot Clubroom
Aerosmith are playing their hit single “Shut Up & Dance” on stage
as the packed out crowd including Melissa bob up & down whilst
Piper, Paige & Leo talk in the corner of the room.
“It’s great Mel’s back” Paige says.
“After a lot of groveling & begging yes”
“Yeah well she’s good at this place.” “& a lot of the regulars
would’ve been angry if she didn’t sing here anymore.” Leo
replies.
“That to yes”
Piper turns her head to them.
“So whaddya you two think of the Spot?” Piper says.
“Well you ditched the DJ for a real band so I’m happy.”
“Yeah charging them a knockdown price to play here you would
be.”
“I still can’t get used to the white gauze though.” Leo comments.
“Well, you won’t have to as you won’t have to get used to, Treat
also.” “I took Paige’s advice & told him that I can’t do it. It’s way
too hard trying to be hip. Which means its five, minutes away
from being five minutes ago.
They go sit down on a couch. Leo raises a toast.
“Okay! To the old!”
Paige looks downcast.
“What’s the matter honey?” Piper asks.
“Well the last time I was here, I was here with Finn.” “How do
you guys get over these things?”
“You don’t.” Leo says.
“But you learn with experience that you can’t dwell on the losses.
Piper says. “You kinder have to”
“Harden your heart?” Paige comments.
“Protect your heart.” “Unfortunately, it’s a fact of life that
sometimes the good comes with a little sadness.”
Leo looks smiling at Melissa dancing as he answers that
question.
“There’s a lot of good, also.”
“There was a lot of good. I mean look at my skin it’s fabulous.”
Piper says. “What they say about the benefits of Clay on your
skins definitely true.” “& now that I’ve been five inches tall, I will
never complain about my height again nor will I doubt your
instincts again.”
“Thank you.” Paige, smiles.
The crowd cheer, as the song finishes & Melissa goes over to the
bar where Mitch & Fletch are serving people.
“Mel hey it must feel good been here again.” Fletch says.
Melissa, smiles. “As soon as Piper puts things back how they
were it will be yeah.”
“So whaddya you want then? You’re usual?”
“Please Fletch thanks.”
“Okay then.”
Fletch goes & does Melissa’s tipple just as she feels Cole
brushing up against her.
“Cole”
She hugs him smiling.
“Hey your back” “A bit soon though huh.”
“Yeah well I managed to shake off the bounty hunters that were
after me so.” “I heard what happened to you with Gamill on the
grape vine though. “You alright?”
“I’m fine.” “Took a few years off me thanks to the Clay which’s
great”
Cole, smiles.
“Well your skin always looks great anyway so.”
Melissa smiles at him.
“Why thank you sir.”
The two of them look at each other nervously. Melissa turns her
head away from him.
“So err do you wanna a drink then?” Melissa asks.
Cole turns his head away also.
“Okay thanks.”
Fletch comes back & hands Mel’s drink.
“Thanks Fletch & get Cole a beer.”
“Coming up”
Fletch goes instead the chiller cabinet & does that. Melissa sips
her drink abundantly as Cole waits for his. Over by the couch Leo
still talks to Paige & Piper.
“Well then if you are going back to the old way honey there’s one
more thing we need to tie up.
“Oh, okay.” Piper says.
Leo leads them out behind the club.
Back Area Behind P Three
"Uh, Leo what're you looking for?" Piper asks.
"Something very important"
"Broken glass?" Paige adds.
"Yes Paige that is correct."
He finds the broken P Three sign.
"Well here it is Piper so what do you wanna do with it? Throw it away or keep and repair it?"
Pausing for a few seconds.
"Keep and repair it." Piper, comments.
Leo nods his head.
"Alright then." He answers.
"It looks like P Three's back."
Paige says.
The camera cranes down & holds on that. Fade to black.
The End
Disclaimer: I don’t own any of the, Charmed characters they all belong to Aaron Spelling productions except Melissa Hale who’s my own creation.
Authors Notes: This’s series three of my, Charmed season, which
continues a week after “All Hell Breaks Loose”
Note: Hiya folks & welcome to my new season of Charmed. My
stories will be different as they were then but still have the same
outcome so the episodes fit together. Everyone who was there
will still, be here minus Prue & Phoebe who’re dead of course &
some other characters that were introduced will be back this
season. I’ll still be using spells from the show & some I create
myself which’ll be different but still have the same affect & better
sounding. I may, use some stories from season two as episode
fillers to outweigh the main storyline going on here or I mayn’t. I’ll
see about that when it comes along.
Extra Note: In episode five Paige, Piper & Melissa investigate a
creepy old house when Paige gets a weird feeling about it. The
horrible truths revealed when a demon called Gamill shrinks
Melissa & traps her inside a mould of clay. Paige meets a guy
who’s linked to the house & P Three has a major overhaul.
Episode Five
P Three Clubroom
Piper’s walking around the room listening to the new manager
Treat talking about changes in the club. White gauzes hanging
down from the ceiling & some workmen are around some of the
tables.
“Okay I’m thinking some white gauze curtains would give this
place some flair”. “You know what I’m saying?” “Then we’ll take
out these tables over here”. “Replace them with mounds of
pillows so people can lay back & get comfortable”.
Treat stops when he sees Piper’s worried face.
“You look worried, baby girl”.
Piper says “Well Treat uh I know I gave you the authority to
make some changes in the club, but I thought they would happen
gradually”. “You know, I don’t want to shock the regulars”.
Treat replies “Of course you do Piper”. “This places too safe too
nineties” “It won’t survive unless you get with the times. Now do
you trust me?” “Do you trust the number one club promoter in all
of San Francisco?”
Piper relents nodding her head.
“Yes, of course.”
Treat pats Piper on the back.
“Good.” “Alright, guys. Rip it all out!”
Some builders rip out the table & chairs situated over in the
corner of the club where the Charmed Ones usually sit. Piper
covers her mouth in shock. Treat walks away as Melissa comes
over angrily looking seeing what’s happened also.
“Mel sweetie hey.”
Piper sees her face.
“Oh”. “Okay look I know things seem different but”.
“Damn straight they do”. Mel replies.
“But since Prue & Phoebe died & with us teaching Paige the clubs
suffered & we need to get that back”.
“By making major changes?”
“If necessary yes” Piper comments.
“Like going over my head completely & changing the line up
here”.
Piper’s face scrunches up a bit confused.
“What changes?” she asks.
“Not letting me book bands without Treats authorization”.
Piper looks a little more confused.
“You don’t need Treats authorization”.
Melissa’s face frowns more.
“Well he says I do”. “& that I can’t have Aerosmith here”.
“But our busiest days tomorrow” “We need Aerosmith here.
We’ve booked them already”.
“Well then you’d better talk to Treat, because if we can’t have
Aerosmith here then I can’t find anyone else by tomorrow”.
Piper sighs running her fingers through her hair.
“Okay um”. “TREAT!”
Piper shouts out over to him. He comes over to her & Melissa.
“Yo Piper?”
“What’s this about Aerosmith not playing here tomorrow?
“Yeah I got a great DJ lined up so we don’t need them”.
“But Mel booked them in advance Treat we can’t go back on that”.
“Aerosmith are so eighties early nineties Piper.” “We need people
that’re with the times.”
Melissa’s face goes shocked at that.
“Aerosmith aren’t old Treat.” “There one of the biggest rock
bands in the world & have sold millions of albums.” “There are a
lot of people looking forward to seeing them.”
Piper butts in.
“Treat when I employed you as manager I said your job was to
oversea things & make sure everything was alright & comment on
anything you thought would benefit the club more not take over
running it completely.” “Mel’s the entertainment manager so she
organizes that side of things which’s how it’s always been”.
“& the taking’s have been down since she’s not been here a lot”.
“Well we’ve had a personal tragedy so we’ve not been able to
focus on the club properly”.
“Which’s why you employed me Piper to make sure P Three
doesn’t go the same way as other nightclubs have.” “Trust my
judgment baby. I know what I’m doing okay?”
Melissa butts in saying. “Well I don’t.”
Treat turns his head to Melissa.
“Then if you don’t like it you can leave if you want.”
“Maybe I will.” Melissa retorts.
Turning left she walks towards the stairs. Piper goes after her
but Treat stops.
“MEL! WAIT!”
Melissa walks upstairs as Paige walks down them.
“Mel hey I wanna talk to you about”
Melissa ignores her continuing upstairs. Paige looks a little
shocked at that.
“Whoa hey what’s wrong with her?” she thinks to herself.
Turning round she walks downstairs more.
“Piper don’t, leave her to it.” “The club doesn’t, really need her.”
Treat explains.
Piper turns round to Treat.
“But”
Treat puts his arm around Piper’s.
“Come on girl lets go on”.
There about to walk away when Paige comes up, to them
shocked.
“Piper hey what’s the matter with Mel?
She sees what’s going on in the room.
“& what’s going on here especially with our table?”
“Mel’s got some issues with the club because we’re making some
changes here.”
“& who said our table could be ripped out?”
“I did.” Treat says.
Paige looks at Treat confused.
“I’m sorry you are?
Piper replies “This is Treat Taylor Paige. The new manager at P
Three
Treat shakes her hand. Paige appears more confused at that
information.
“I-I-I’m sorry new manager?”
“Just on a trial basis” Piper says.
“So why did Mel leave then?”
“Because Treat’s booked a DJ for tomorrow”
Paige’s eyes scrunch up a bit.
“But I thought Aerosmith were playing here?”
“Well Treat wanted someone more update like”.
“But Mel’s entertainment manager”.” He can’t do that”.
“& I said if she didn’t agree with my accommodation she could
leave so she did”. Treat says.
“Okay then” Paige quips.
She takes Piper over to the side away from Treat.
“Piper I thought you weren’t making any major changes so soon
after loosing your sisters?”
“Yeah well like it or not there’ve been a lot of changes lately, &
this’s hardly the biggest. Paige what I’m doing’s not by choice.
They’re by necessity. Okay? P Three’s been struggling lately &
me, Mel need to pay the remortgage on the house & the bills also.
“If you’re stuck for money I can lend you some”.
“No Paige thank you” “But unless your job pays two hundred
grand a year that would really make a difference. Otherwise, I’d
rather you be free for other work.
“Yeah about that listen I wanted to talk to Mel about something
but since she left”.
“Okay what’s it about?” Piper says.
Paige steadies herself ready to say what she says.
“Alright, have you ever walked by a house & got a really bad
creepy feeling from it?” “Okay, I’m on my way to get coffee every
morning & I walk by this house & I get... this shiver.
Piper looks quizitively at her.
“Shiver?”
Paige nods her head.
“Yeah does it mean anything?”
“It’s a shiver.” Piper replies.
“No, I’ve always just, dismissed it as a bad case of the creeps,
but now that I’m half whitelighter /Half witch & Mel told me I could
sense evil I thought it might be something like that.
“Well, do you know anything about the house?”
“Just that this cute guy named Finn lives there” “We bumped into
each other at the grocery store & I flirted a little.” “You know
done the, are these melons ripe thing.”
“Well, that sounds like you have the hot’s not the
creeps.” “Either way, I think it’s a good idea that you stay away
from this Finn guy.
“No, I don’t get the shiver from him just the house.” “I think I’m
onto something.”
“Well I think when you’ve been a witch more than a few months
you’ll know the difference between sensing evil & needing a
warmer jacket.
“So you don’t want to check it out then?”
“Not any time soon.”
“But, I’m not making this up Piper.” “Mel wouldn’t brush of what I
said.”
“I know but there’s not a lot to go on Paige.” “Look I have to get
on doing the club but I’ll talk to you later okay?”
Paige relents even though she doesn’t want to.
“Okay.”
“Okay.” “Stay away from that Finn guy.”
Piper turns round & walks away a little.
Finn’s House
He pulls up into the driveway with a woman named Claudia on
his motorcycle.
“Geez, Finn. You live here.” The girl asks amazed.
“It needs work.” “Okay, lots of work, but it’s nicer inside.” “I’ll
show you.”
“I must be outta my mind.”
Finn looks at her little nervous.
“Why?“
“I don’t know.” “Going home with a guy I just met.”
“Come on. What are you afraid of?”
Inside House
They enter the house. Finn tries to turn on the light, but it
doesn’t work.
“I keep meaning to get that fixed.”
“It’s kinder dark here, Finn.”
“You’re a little old to be scared of the dark, aren’t you?” “Maybe I
should go check the circuit breaker.”
The woman grabs onto Finn tightly.
“Wait, don’t go.”
“It’s okay.”
He leaves & a demon watches Claudia from behind a hole in the
wall. Claudia hears something.
“Who’s there?”
The demon named Gammill, comes out from behind & uses his
wand & shrinks her as she screams.

San Francisco Bay & City
Various parts of San Francisco bay & city are been shown
whilst “The Potter Knows The Clay” by The Perry’s is playing.
I know you are going through the fire Its getting hard to stand
the heat
But even harder is the wondering Is God’s hand still on me
Its lonely in the flames When you’re counting days of pain
Chorus
But the Potter knows the clay How much pressure it can take
How many times around the wheel ‘Til there’s submission to His
will
He’s planned a beautiful design but it’ll take some fire and time
Its gonna be okay ‘cause the Potter knows the clay
Friend I just came through that fire Not too very long ago
& looking back I can see why & that my God was in control
But on the hottest days I'd cry Oh Lord, isn't it about time
Manor Hallway
Melissa’s opens the door then slams it shut & walks towards the
kitchen.
Lounge
Leo levitating up hearing this lowers himself down & walks out
towards the noise.
Kitchen
Coming in Melissa sets her bag down then goes over to the
cupboard & gets out one of Lucky’s dog food tins & opens that up
with the tin opener she gets outta the cutlery drawer & puts that
inside his clean bowl. Leo comes in & talks to her.
“Hey sweetie you okay?”
Melissa turns round making Leo see, her angry look.
“What’s the matter Mel?”
She throws the tin in the bin & the opener in the sink.
“Aerosmith aren’t playing at P Three.”
“But you booked them, months ago.” “Did flyers, newspaper ads,
& radio announcements.”
She goes to the back door opening it up letting Lucky come in
who goes over to his food & starts eating it.
“Well the new manager Treat Taylor’s booked a DJ instead.”
“You’re in charge of entertainment Mel he can’t do that.”
“Which’s why I’ve quit” “He can explain to Aerosmith’s manager
why there not playing instead.”
Leo’s eyes widen hearing that.
“You’ve what?” “Why?”
Melissa walks up to the middle room table.
“Because I’ve dignity dad” “I’d rather quit than let someone tell
me what to do or fire me themselves.”
They hear a knock on the back door & see Paige standing there.
“Hi um can I come in?” “I just tried the front door but no-one was
answering.”
“Sure yeah” Leo says.
“Thanks.”
Paige steps inside & closes the door.
“So what can we do for you Paige?” Leo asks.
Paige looks at Melissa.
“Okay well you know how you were teaching me about sensing
good & evil earlier this week.”
Melissa nods her head.
“Yeah?”
“Well I’m not sure exactly but I think might’ve sensed evil.”
“How?” Leo says.
“Okay I know this sounds silly, but there’s this house I walk by &
I get this really bad feeling from it.” “I’ve already discussed it with
Piper but she dismissed it.”
“Is there a story about the house that it maybe haunted or
something & so that’s why you feel bad about it?” Melissa says.
Paige shakes her head.
“No.” “The house needs repairing but.”
“Well if it’s not been inhabited in a long time then it’s perfectly
normal.” Leo replies.
Paige shakes her head again.
“No a guy does live there Finn.”
“Alright you want us to check it out?” Melissa comments.
Paige nods her head.
“If you could yeah” “But if your busy then don’t worry about it”
Melissa shakes her head.
“No that’s okay.” “I’ve quit my job now so I’ve all the free time in
the world.”
Paige’s mouth opens in shock.
“Oh my god Piper just said you had issues with Treat.”
“Yeah well like I said to dad I’d rather quit than let someone tell
me what to do or fire me themselves.” “So when do you wanna
go now then?”
“I‘ve work so I can’t but I, could meet you after four
perhaps.” “I’ll give you the address.” “I just, uh, need, uh, pen &
paper.
A pen & paper orb into her hand. Paige, smiles.
“I love having this power.” “Alright I’ll see you later there guys.”
Thanks.
“Sure Paige.” Leo says.
Paige turns around & walks out the back door.
“Alright let’s go then”. Melissa replies.
She turns round & walks outta the kitchen.
Hallway
Coming up to the stairs Melissa goes up them a bit.
“Hey don’t you wanna get your weapons from the basement?”
Leo says.
Turning round, Melissa replies.
“I will after I’ve changed into my work clothes & got my car keys”.
“Do you want me to orb you there?”
“No thanks dad it’s only a house.” “If anything happens I’ll call
you”.
Veering back Melissa continues on upstairs.
Clubroom
Treat’s showing Piper new waitresses uniforms with the name
The Spot on it.
“Woo, now that’s what I’m talking about.”
Piper just stands there dumbstruck.
“You’re changing the name of the club?”
“Yeah well that’s the plan. You know?”
Piper’s face crumbles in horror.
“What’s wrong with P Three?”
“Well, when we asked people what they thought that meant
most of them said a parking level.” “I mean I don’t even know
what it stands for.
“It stood for Prue, Phoebe & Piper.” “Sisters we were P Three.”
“Yeah, but if this new images happening it deserves a new name.
Otherwise, no one will know what it is. You know what I’m
saying?” “Look, if you’re dead against it I can take it all down,
change things around, whatever you want me to do baby girl.”
Thinking for a moment Piper pictures her sisters & her in her mind
but backing into reality she shakes her head.
“No, it’s just another change. So, you do what you want.”
“You cool?”
“Yeah.”
“You sure?”
Piper nods her head.
“Yeah.”
Treat pats her on the right.
“Alright.”
He goes over & talks to the designer who done the uniforms.
Outside Finn’s House
Melissa pulls up outside in her green Jeep Liberty & switches the
engine off. Turning left she looks upon Finn’s house checking the
note Paige wrote seeing if it’s the right one. A few seconds
afterwards she undoes her seatbelt & grabs her satchel beside &
opens the door up & gets out closing the window & locks it.
Putting the satchel over her shoulder Melissa crosses the clear
road & walks up to the house & climbs up the steps to the front
door. She knocks on the door but no-one answers. Melissa tries
again & just about walks away when the door opens up by itself.
She sways round hearing it.
“Okay”.
Getting out one of her handguns from her handbag Melissa
points it straight ahead & walks inside cautiously. She looks
round seeing if anyone’s in as well as keeping her mind open also.
“Hello?” Melissa calls out.
Gammill watches her from the hole in the wall. Walking on a little
further into the main room Melissa speaks out again.
Main Room
“Anybody home?”
Seeing a collection of little dolls with looks of horror on their faces
Melissa puts her gun down & picks up one, of them & gets a
premonition of the girl before been shrunken & drops the doll
afterwards smashing it on the floor. She picks her gun up & turns
round to leave but Gammill comes out from behind the wall &
shouts.
“No!”
He uses his wand & shrinks Melissa & her gun quickly before she
shoots him. Stopping to about ten centimeters Melissa looks up
seeing huge Gammill above her.
“Uh-oh!”
She runs over to a table trying not to make a sound. Gammill
looks for shrunken Melissa.
“Where are you? You can’t have gone that far.”
Looking up worried, Melissa whispers upward for Leo.
“Dad? Dad?”
She doesn’t get an answer being so small. Gammill finds her.
“Oh! Oh!”
Melissa fires her small gun at his leg barely hitting him. She runs
across the floor to the couch which Gammill sees her do.
“I see you.”
Melissa astral projects in behind & pokes him with an athame
causing him to flinch up in pain a little making him look down upon
her tiny astral self. Gammill bends down & picks her up looking at
her.
“Well, well lookey here a witch.”
Astral Melissa disappears before he crushes her giving her real
self enough time to climb up an arm leg of the table to the top
which Gammill spots in the end.
“Okay witch. We’ll see how long you last.”
Going to the cupboard on the other side Gammill gets out a
vacuum cleaner & turns it on pointing it directly at Melissa.
“Oh, this sucks.”
She runs along the ledge.
Clubroom
Leo & Paige orb into a secure area. Paige wobbles a bit.
“Uh I can’t get used to this orbing thing.”
“You will. You’ve got in you.” Leo says.
“Yeah but I feel like my stomach’s goanna come outta me.” Paige
replied back.
They go look for Piper who’s inside her office talking to
Aerosmith’s manager on the phone.
Piper’s Office
“Yes Mr Walsh I completely understand how you feel & offer my
sincere apologies about what’s happened. Of course you’ll get a
full refund. Yes I understand. Goodbye Mr. Walsh.
She hangs up & puts the phone down then leans back in her
chair sighing eyes closed & stroking her hand through her hair.
Getting up she walks out a moment later.
Clubroom
Coming back in Piper, sees Paige & Leo scouring upon her.
Trotting up she sees goes over to them seeing Leo’s widened
eyes at the shock of the different look of the club.
“Wow uh, what’s with the white gauze? It’s worse than up
there.”
“It was Treat’s idea.”
Paige notices Piper’s dampened look.
“Hey what’s up?”
“I just spoke to Aerosmith’s manager who wasn’t best pleased
about us canceling on him & the band.” “What’re you guys doing
here anyway?” Piper says.
“We orbed in.” Paige comments.
Piper’s eyes narrow close.”
“Together?”
“Yeah, we were worried about Mel.” “She was supposed to meet
me at the creepy house, but she never showed so I thought
maybe she got hung up.” “So I went to your place &.”
Piper replies “Paige I thought we decided not to investigate the
so-called creepy house.”
“Well, I know you did but Mel & Leo disagreed.”
Piper narrows her eyes in a bit more.
“Oh, so you went behind my back & asked them then?”
“She didn’t go behind your back Piper. “I’m her white lighter, too
& Mel’s training her so”. Leo says.
“Right well, it’s a smart thing to do as a witch, but an annoying
thing to do as a sister. So what happened to Mel?”
“I don’t know.” “After she quit” Leo replies.
Piper’s eyes widen hearing that.
“Quit?”
Leo answered back. “Yeah Mel didn’t like Treat telling her what to
do so she quit rather than he fire her”.
Piper hangs her head down in shame then raises it back up again.
“Okay go, on”.
“Well I checked my radar, but she dropped to the tiniest blip.”
“& what would account for that?”
Leo tells Piper worried looking.
“I don’t know, but I don’t like it”
Piper shakes her head.
“No Mel’s resourceful. Nothing would happen to her”.
“Unless it was something she couldn’t fight”. Paige comments.
Piper looks ahead thinking of the offal truth. Coming back to
reality she starts walking towards the stairs
“Alright we need to get to the house.”
“I knew something was going on there.” Paige replies walking
behind Piper.
“Uh-huh, okay. Let’s hold the congratulations till we find Mel.”
As they leave the workmen break the P Three sign down. Leo
looks at Piper from behind.
“Piper?”
Piper just stares at the sign obliviously.
“Doesn’t, matter. P Three doesn’t exist anymore.”
Paige looks at the broken sign downheartedly.
Finn’s House Interior
Melissa’s grabbing onto a couch for dear life. Gammill’s trying to
suck her into the vacuum cleaner. Finn enters. Gammill shouts
out.
“Watch out! One’s loose! Shut the door. Shut it!”
“What’re you goanna do with her when you find her Gamill?” Finn
asks.
Gammill grunts that answer.
“Don’t ask questions.”
Finn looks worried.
“The same thing you did with the other one?”
Gammill shuts off the vacuum cleaner. Melissa relaxes. Gamill
turns angrily at Finn.
“I said don’t ask questions the other one. Still, that... that gives
me an idea.”
He goes & takes out Claudia he shrunk earlier covered in clay.
“Do you want me to?”
Gammill puts his right handed finger to his mouth.
“Shh.”
Melissa sees Claudia trying to say help me. Finn spies the doors
still open.
“The doors still open.”
Gamill replies back angrily.
“Well shut it then.”
Finn does so.
Outside Finn’s House
Piper, Leo & Paige arrive in Piper’s Jeep Cherokee. Looking ahead
they see Melissa’s Jeep Liberty sitting where it was before.
“Mel’s car” Piper, replies.
“So she’s here then”. Leo says worriedly.
“Inside that house” Paige comments looking at it. “Oh I hate the sight of it”.
“Paige you don’t have to be a super witch to know that house’s
creepy.”
“Well I tried to tell you Piper but.”
“Yeah well you don’t have to ram it down my throat alright.”
Paige puts her hands up in defeat.
“Fine” “Hey where’s Cole? Why isn’t he helping here?”
“He’s deep down in the underworld trying to evade more bounty
hunters.” Leo says.
“Look there’s a motorcycle in the driveway maybe somebody’s
home.”
“Okay, we get out & go up to the front door. You knock I’ll
freeze.” Piper replies.
“You don’t always have control over your powers Piper. You might
blow up an innocent.” Leo says.
“Okay, then how about you orb in, check out the place, & tell us
what we’re up against.”
“I’ve an idea”. Paige comments.
“Well, the problem with that’s what if what we’re dealing with’s
not supernatural. Then I’ve orbed into somebody’s living room &
we’ve risked exposure.”
Paige tries butting in saying.
“I mean if I just”
Piper & Leo ignore her as they continue arguing.
“Which’s why I say we go with the freeze then no exposure or
don’t you care about our daughter & what could’ve happened to
her in there?”
Leo answers shocked raising his voice at that remark.
“How can you say that Piper of, course I care about Mel. I’d die
for her”.
Not taking it anymore Paige puts her fingers in her mouth &
whistles at them two.
“Hey I’m here to, you know or can’t I get an edge ways in?”
Piper & Leo apologize to her.
“Sorry Paige”. “Yeah sorry Paige”
“Okay thanks.” “Now I know we’re worried about Mel but arguing
about it won’t help. Now I think I can get Finn outta the house.”
Piper looks at her inquisitively.
“How?”
“Well, I know the guy. I’ll just go in, lure him out, & you two can
go in & snoop around.
“No. We can’t let you go off with a potential demon. It’s too
dangerous. Right, Leo?”
“Actually, it sounds like our best bet.”
“What are you siding with Paige now?”
“No there are no sides. &, yes.
Piper claps her hands knowing the truth.
“Huh!”
“Look, I know I’m new to magic, but if I’m goanna learn how to
be a witch then I need some experience.”
“& I’m just trying to protect you.”
“That’s nice, Piper but you’re protecting me maybe hurting
Mel.” “Now I got her into this so please let me help get her outta
it.”
After a while Piper relents.
“Okay, fine go.” “But until we know who this Finn guy is & what
he does, I don’t want you alone with him. Take him to P Three,
or – I mean, The Spot.”
“Got it”
Paige gets out a lollipop.
“Uh Paige what did Mel & I tell you about that habit?”
“I’m using it as a lure not because I’m nervous”.
Paige gets outta the car.
“Do not go into that house. Did you hear me Paige? I said do not
go in!” Piper says.
Paige leaves.
“It’s like talking to a brick wall.”
“Well she’s certainly got the Halliwell hearing.” Leo replies.
Inside Finn’s House
Melissa finishes climbing up the arm leg of a table to Claudia in
clay.
“Whoa I didn’t know climbing up here would be such hard work
being small. “Man that’s one hell of a work out”.
She looks over at Claudia.
“Hey my name’s Melissa.” “Can you hear me?”
Claudia whimpers yes.
“Okay. Just close your eyes & don’t tense up.” “I’m goanna break
you out”
Melissa spins round & breaks apart the clay. Claudia starts collapsing.
“No, no. You can collapse later. Right now I need you to run. Can
you do that?”
Claudia nods her head.
“Yeah”
“Okay good. We’ve gotta go before Gammill sees us.”
Gammill comes up & traps them under a glass cup.
“Gotcha witch.” “I knew you could never resist saving an
innocent.”
Melissa tries shattering the glass repeatedly with her foot but
has no luck.
Outside Finn’s House
Paige knocks on the front door.
“Hello!”
Main Room
Gamill replies angry been interrupted.
“Now what?” Gammill says.
Outside Finn’s House
Paige knocks again. Gamill spies who it is from the main room.
“Hello!”
Main Room
Gamill turns round looking at Finn.
“Another girl.” Get her inside. Go get her. Get her!”
Finn looks at Gamill a little worried.
“Maybe we should just let them go Gamill.” Finn comments.
Gamill walks towards Finn.
“Since when did you develop a conscience?” “Hmm? I never gave
you one.” “Now what’re you standing around for? Go! Go! Fetch!”
Finn goes to answer the door. Melissa tries yelling out.
“Be quiet!” Gamill yells.
Gammill puts them in a container.
Outside Finn’s House
Finn opens the door seeing Paige
“Hi!” Paige says
“Hi!” Finn replies.
“Remember me? The girl with the melons from the supermarket
melons”
“Yeah, I remember. What brings you here?”
“Let’s just say I got tired of waiting for you to show up on my
doorstep.”
Finn looks confused.
“I’m sorry?”
“Look, if we’re goanna go out, the first thing you need to know
about me’s that I don’t play games.” “I see what I want & I go
for it.” “Do you have a problem with that?”
“Are you always this aggressive with guys?”
Paige puts the lollipop in her mouth teasing like.
“Just the ones I like.”
Finn points his left arm into the house.
“Why don’t you come in?”
Paige hesitates.
“Is something wrong?” Finn asks.
Paige answers trying not, to look guilty.
“Oh, just the old cliché” “My mother told me never to go into
stranger’s houses. That thing”
Finn bays his hand towards Paige.
“Come on. What’re you afraid of?”
Piper & Leo watching in the, car.
“Don’t do it.” Piper says.
Inside Finn’s House
Gammill watches through the hole in the wall inside the house.
“Do it.”
Outside Finn’s House
Paige starts to enter the house but Finn stops her.
“No, wait. On second thought, let’s just go out.”
Finn & Paige leave the front door & go over top Finn’s motorbike.
Leo & Piper see this.
“The lure worked.” Leo says.
Paige & Finn drive away on his motorcycle. Paige waves at them.
“Barely” Piper replies.
Main Room
Coming back in Gammill goes to Melissa & Claudia.
“Now where were we?”
Leo & Piper orb in which Gammill sees & hides. Melissa tries to
contact them using her small voice.
“Leo! Piper!”
They don’t hear her.
“Okay you go that way. I’ll go this way.” Piper says.
Melissa waves her hands inside the container hoping that works.
“In here!”
Piper looks round & finds the demon’s collection of small dolls.
“Oh, that’s weird” she comments.
Leo comes over to her.
“Wow what a bizarre collection.”
Piper just about touches it but Leo stops her.
“I wouldn’t touch. We should look for Mel. I’ll check upstairs.”
Leo does that as Melissa waves her hands still inside the
container trying again to get there notice.
“Leo! Piper!”
Piper can’t hear her still. Leo comes back in worried.
“There’s nothing upstairs. I mean nothing. Anything down here? “
Piper shakes her head worried to.
“No nothing but a bunch of clays.” “I don’t get it Leo Mel should
be here her cars outside but we can’t find her.”
Piper continues more upset now.
“Where the hell is she?”
Pulling her close Leo hugs her resting his head on hers.
“I don’t know honey but we’ll find her though I promise. Although
I think we should get outta here first though & check the Book of
Shadows. I-I wanna know what we’re dealing with.”
Piper nods her head.
“Well, whatever it is it better not require the Power of Three to vanquish it.” Piper adds.
They orb out & Gamill goes over to Melissa.
“Well, well the Power of Three. So you’re not just a witch, but a
Charmed One also. Nothing will make me happier than collecting
you all.”
Time lapse later Gammill puts Melissa & Claudia into clay.
“When your clay hardens, I’ll fire up the kiln & once you’re in the
kiln, there’ll be nothing left to save. Don’t worry. I’ll be back. Once
I complete my collection.
He leaves the house. Melissa speaks out once the coasts clear.
“Okay, good. Now that he’s gone, I can focus on getting us outta
here.”
She looks at Claudia next to her.
“Although, I must tell you I’m not having the best day of my life
which began with me quitting my job after the new manager at P
Three went over my head & booked a DJ to play there instead of
Aerosmith which made me feel this big, & now I actually am this
big. & next up’s being baked.
Claudia shrieks at that comment.
“Well, that’s just a round about word of saying don’t
panic.” “Listen I’m goanna get us outta here okay don’t
worry.” “Although astral projecting would be useless since mo- I
mean Piper didn’t hear me earlier when I waved at her so she
wouldn’t see me now either meaning I’ll have to think of
something else which I’m goanna do.” “I’m goanna turn... this day around.”
Her mouth closes up as the clay around her hardens up.
Attic
Piper & Leo are looking through the Book of Shadows.
“Found him! Gammill a.k.a. The Collector.”He’s known for his
passion of collecting one of a kind, figurines.” “Wonder what he
gets outta that?” Leo comments.
“Well, speaking of my great-aunt Sylvia, who collects Hummels,
when they’ve a hard time dealing with real people figurines can
be their best friends.”
“Yeah, but being socially awkward doesn’t land you in the Book of
Shadows.”
“Then what does?” Piper says.
Looking down the page more Leo finds out.
“Well, apparently he went up against a witch sometime in the
seventies.” “They cast a spell that made him as hideous on the
outside as he was on the inside.” “Like this I suppose.”
He points to the picture of Gamill there.
“Does it say what he did to deserve that?”
Leo fins down a little further.
“No, which doesn’t make any sense either” “I mean we saw this
guy & he’s still looks the same.”
“So what does that mean?” Piper replies. “That Gammill found a
way to break the curse & changed his name to Finn?”
“I don’t know, but I’m guessing whoever the guy Paige is with
does.”
“Then we need to find Paige & hope she’s not in trouble so we
can find Mel & hope that she’s not in trouble.”
“Well, I wouldn’t worry about Paige. I mean she’s in a public
place. Nobody’s goanna hurt her at The Spot.”
Paige’s Loft
Paige & Finn walk through the door which Paige closes behind
them.
“Sorry I wasn’t expecting company so just, uh give me a sec to
clean the place up.”
“I really like your place.” Finn, comments.
“Really? It’s a shoe box compared to yours.”
“Yeah well I’m really glad I didn’t bring you in.” “You know this’s
the first time a girl’s ever invited me back to her place.”
“Well, I just thought the club was kinder noisy & we could, hang
out here.” “Um, first actually I have a question.”
Finn appears uneasy at this.
“About what?”
“About your house” Paige says.
Finn turns himself away from her.
“I don’t really wanna talk about that.”
Paige comes up touching his shoulder.
“Finn if something bad’s going on there, I need you to tell me
about it.” “Please, my cousin could be in trouble.”
After a moment Finn turns round & answers her.
“I don’t know much. It’s only recently that I’ve started asking
questions myself.”
“Asking who?” Paige’s eyes squint in question.
“Gammill”
“What’s his deal?”
“I’m not sure.”
“Well, how do you know him?” Paige asks.
“Because he made me“
Paige’s eyes widen in shock sorter confusion like.
“Made you? What’s that like a Mafia thing?”
“No. Look, give me your hand.”
Finn takes Paige’s hand.
“Put it here.”
He places it on his abdomen.
“Do you feel that? I’m not like you.”
Paige feeling the soft water like consistency of Finn looks up in
total disbelief.
“Oh, my god”
The Spot Clubroom
Piper & Leo orb in undetected into a secure area. There’s loud
music & the waitresses are dancing on the bar. Piper can’t
believe what’s happening.
“Whoa I just got, uh creepy shivers myself”
“Now I’m glad you changed the name.” Leo adds.
Piper covers her mouth seeing the waitresses more up close &
personal.
“Oh! Look at the waitresses!”
She covers Leo’s eyes with her own.
“Oh no! Don’t look! They’re practically removing their spots.”
Leo slants his head slightly in wonder.
“Whoa can you do that in public?”
Seeing his look Piper screwing her face up in disgust moves his
head round to hers.
“Uh! Listen to me. Just go look for Paige. Okay? Go.”
Piper walks toward the back of the club where a bouncer stops
her.
“Hold it! You can’t go in there.”
Piper looks at him a little confused.
“Excuse me?”
“This’s the VIP area.”
“Oh! You’re assuming because I not tall, tattooed, or big
breasted that I’m not important.” “Well that’s a bad assumption
because I own this club. Which makes, me a V.V.VIP.”
Treat comes out to meet her.
“Piper! Piper! Hey.” “She’s good, man.” “What’s up girl?”
“Hi Treat. Things seems, good here.”
“Yeah we sure got a fly crowd tonight.”
“Uh-huh.”
“I told you all it needs a little danger to get it going.”
“Yeah, that’s exactly what this place lacked.” “Listen, um. Have
you seen my sister Paige?”
“Yeah, she was here earlier, but left saying it was too noisy.”
Piper asks him again as she didn’t hear the first time with the
loud noise going on.
“She said what?”
“It was too noisy.” Treat replies.
Piper leaves him & finds Leo trying to get through the crowd, but
is caught in between two dancing waitresses which he doesn't
seem to mind too much.
“Excuse me! Hi! Having fun?” “Let’s go. Paige took Finn to her
loft. Let’s go.”
They go behind a sofa & orb out.
Paige’s Loft
Piper & Leo orb in & go inside. They find Paige kneeling in front of
Finn. Piper’s shocked seeing that.
“Paige!”
Paige turns round in shock seeing Leo & Piper there.
“Hey what’re you doing here?”
Piper answers a little angry.
“This’s ridiculous. It’s like dealing with a teenager.”
Paige gets up defending her actions.
“Excuse me I’m just examining him.”
Piper bites back concerned.
“Okay! First of all, you shouldn’t have left the club.”
Paige tries to butt in but Piper stops a little more angered.
“Piper”
“Second you shouldn’t be playing doctor with the demon boy.”
Paige tries unsuccessfully to get Piper’s attention again.
“Piper”
“Third of all”
Paige raises her voice this time finally getting what she wants.
“Piper! He has no bellybutton okay.” “Now first of we left you’re
club because it sucks alright” “I preferred it better when there
was real music & real bands not hacked up wannabe DJ’s &
sleazy waitresses.” & second of Finn has no bellybutton because
he wasn’t born.
“I was created outta clay.” Finn says.
“In Gammill’s own image. He must be a golem.” Leo comments
thinking.
“I don’t know the technical term, but I do know that he needs protection from the demon that made him.”
Piper says “Okay. Hold up! Where’s Gammill now?”
“At the house, I think.” Finn answers.
Leo scrunches his face a little in confusion.
“But we were just there. We didn’t see him.”
“That’s because he has his own secret hiding place.” Finn
answers.
“Then how’s Gamill hiding our cousin there?
“He probably shrunk her.”
Piper’s eyes widen in shock.
“He what?”
“That’s what he does.” “He takes his wand & shrinks the women
for his collection.”
Leo looks at Piper in sheer horror.
“The figurines, that’s why they’re one of a kind” “Gamill moulds
his victims into clay then fires them & paints over once there,
finished making them that way forever.”
“Okay, we have to go back there & get Mel before she’s gone
completely.” Piper quickly says concerned.
“Careful. If Gammill’s at the house waiting for you, he’ll shrink you all.” “I don’t know why he didn’t before.” Finn, comments.
“Does he still trust you?” Piper replies.
“Yeah.”
“Okay, then you, come with us & go in & distract him first.”
Paige shakes her head.
“No, Piper we can’t use Finn as a minesweeper.” “Besides, isn’t
he an innocent?”
“Innocents are usually real people Paige.”
“& there also people who need help which shouldn’t matter
whether there real or not.” “Now we have to get Mel. First, we
should go by your house, & check the Book of Shadows & see if
there’s a spell to undo shrinking.” “We’ll bring Finn with us.”
“We don’t have time for that Paige.” Piper says.
“But we can’t go in unprepared Piper.” “Mel always told me any
witch should do that before they fight any demon.”
“Normally yes but in circumstances like this unprepared might be
our best shot.”
Piper turns her head to Leo.
“Leo, what do you think?”
He puts his hands up.
“I think you two, need to stop turning to me & start figuring out a
way to listen to each other.” “Piper, you don’t listen to Paige’s
ideas.”
Paige, smiles.
“& Paige, you don’t listen to Piper’s advice.” “I think you guys
need to figure a way out how to work as partners.”
Piper laughs.
“We are partners Leo.”
“Equal partners I mean”
“Well, listen. Can we do that tomorrow? Right now we actually
need your help.” Paige quips.
Leo sighs in frustration at the girls not listening to him.
“Well I think the best I can do helping’s by doing this.”
Leo orbs out leaving, Paige Piper & Finn alone. Piper shouts up at
him.
“Leo! Don’t you abandon your daughter like this now come back
here.”
There’s no answer. Finn looks a little shocked hearing that. Piper
flaps her arms up.
“Great!”
“What now?” Paige asks.
“Well, I’m just goanna have to convince you that I’m right.” Piper adds.
Paige gets frustrated at that.
“Well, we don’t have all day.” “Why don’t we just flip a coin?”
Piper’s face looks out in horror.
“Hello Mel’s life is at stake Paige.”
“All the more reason to make a decision quickly”
Piper relents.
“Fine, flip it.”
Paige gets a coin outta her pocket.
“Call it.”
“Heads” Piper says.
Paige throws the coin & orbs it to tails.
“Tails” “I win fair & square.”
“No you don’t because you used your power & orbed it that
way.”
Paige moves close into Piper.
“Prove it.”
Hallway
Piper, Paige & Finn enter the front door. Piper switches off the
burglar alarm.
“It’s okay. You’ll be safe here.” Paige says to Finn.
“Can I have some water? My skin feels a little dry.”
“Oh, yeah sure” “Kitchen’s just down there to the left.” Paige
points out.
As Finn walks into the entranceway Gammill shatters him with his
wand. The two ladies gasp then scream as he shrinks them both
to.
“Uh-oh!” Piper says as they both look up at Gamill standing over them.
Main Room
Gammill lines up Piper, Melissa, Paige, & Claudia encased in clay
on a shelf.
“Time to fire up the kiln”
He comes over to Claudia.
“You’re next.”
& takes her to the, kiln. Melissa groans helpless not been able to
do anything.
“At least we came for you.” Piper, comments.
Melissa groans in frustration at how late they’ve come.
“Sweetie Paige & I are here now.” “We have the power of
three.” “Can you say a spell?”
Melissa moans.
“Hello she’s all hard up Piper so she can’t talk” Paige says.
“Okay well we’ll have to figure something out then.” “Right let’s
go over our options.”
Paige scrunches her face a bit making the clay mould a little more
about her.
“Options? We have two.” “We’re screwed & more screwed.”
“We don’t need negativity. We need solutions.” Piper says.
“Well, I’m sorry. I’ve never been shrunk & covered in clay before.”
“Hey! You wanted to be partners so work with me here.
Okay?” “Are you right?” “Yeah we are screwed.”
“Can’t you blast your way out of it?” Paige asks.
“No I can’t move my hands.” Piper replies.
“I could call for something, but what would help?” “What’s the
point of having powers if you can’t use them?”
“What about orbing? Has Mel taught you that?”
“Sorter but we haven’t gone over the fine points yet.”
“Then why don’t you try it.”
“Because I can only, do that in the same place & only by fear
response.”
“Well you’ll have to learn to do it without feeling scared sometime
so why not now?” “The clays still wet enough so it might collapse
if you leave for a second.”
Melissa moans agreeably in response.
“Yeah only one problem, I’ve never been able to orb at will before.”
“But that doesn’t mean you can’t right?” “I’m sure Mel’s told you
to concentrate & relax.”
Melissa moans in agreement again. Paige talks a little concerned
now.
“Relax? Are you kidding?”
“Paige, just close your eyes.”
She does so.
“Take a deep breath.” “Feel the magic rising from a place of strength.”
Paige concentrates on that.
“Feel it building & building.” “Paige, you’re our only hope.”
Piper’s mouth closes up as her clay hardens up. Paige orbs & her
clay breaks.
“It worked. How cool was that?”
Her relatives moan.
“I know. I know. I’m coming.”
Paige breaks Piper & Melissa’s clay. Melissa looks over worriedly
at Claudia who’s just about to be put in the oven.
“He’s about to put Claudia into the kiln.” “Mom, freeze him.”
Piper tries, but nothing happens.
“Oh, he’s way too big for my tiny magic.”
“Maybe if I call for his wand & shrink him then he’ll be our
size.” “Whaddya think?”
“That’s a good idea.” “Try it Paige.” Melissa says.
“But make sure you keep your voice down.” “If he hears us, we’ll
be cooked.” Piper adds.
“Wand, wand”
Nothing happens.
“Remember Paige no matter how big or small the object is as
long as you have it in your mind & focus on that it’ll come to you.
Paige nods in response & tries again speaking louder this time.
“Wand!”
The wand orbs to Paige & Gammill hears that. The charmed ones
look up worried.
“Okay we need a spark.”
“Got it!”
Piper gets behind the wand as the other two hold it up & pushes
the switch in making it work shrinking Gamill to their size.
“Uh-oh!” Gamill says seeing how small he is.
“Okay freeze him mom”
Piper does so.
"Don't we need a spell for that & most importantly the family bond thing?" Paige asks.
Melissa nods her head.
"Concerning Gamill no since he’s only a low level demon we should be able to say a spell which’ll work on him although upper levels ones we won’t yet besides the good thing about being stuck in clay all day. You have time to think of one." "Now repeat after me." "SMALL OF MIND BIG OF WOE THE PAIN YOU CAUSED YOU NOW WILL KNOW okay?"
Paige & Piper nod in unison.
"Okay."
The girls turn & look at Gammill & say the spell.
"SMALL OF MIND BIG OF WOE THE PAIN YOU CAUSED YOU NOW WILL KNOW"
Gammill disappears & the girls plus Claudia are transformed back to normal size.
"That's it? That's the spell you spent all day working on?" Paige comments.
"Well, it worked. Didn't it?" Melissa defends.
"Hey you're getting good at that sweetie." "As good as Phoebe maybe"
Melissa smiles at that.
"Thanks Piper."
Claudia looks at them in sheer astonishment.
"Oh, my god how did you do that?"
"Better watch what you say there Mel's very religious."
"Oh sorry" Claudia says. "But how did you do that?"
"The power of three." Paige replies.
"Not until we get the Source and Shax Paige." Piper adds.
Claudia just smiles at been whole again.
The Spot Clubroom
Aerosmith are playing their hit single “Shut Up & Dance” on stage
as the packed out crowd including Melissa bob up & down whilst
Piper, Paige & Leo talk in the corner of the room.
“It’s great Mel’s back” Paige says.
“After a lot of groveling & begging yes”
“Yeah well she’s good at this place.” “& a lot of the regulars
would’ve been angry if she didn’t sing here anymore.” Leo
replies.
“That to yes”
Piper turns her head to them.
“So whaddya you two think of the Spot?” Piper says.
“Well you ditched the DJ for a real band so I’m happy.”
“Yeah charging them a knockdown price to play here you would
be.”
“I still can’t get used to the white gauze though.” Leo comments.
“Well, you won’t have to as you won’t have to get used to, Treat
also.” “I took Paige’s advice & told him that I can’t do it. It’s way
too hard trying to be hip. Which means its five, minutes away
from being five minutes ago.
They go sit down on a couch. Leo raises a toast.
“Okay! To the old!”
Paige looks downcast.
“What’s the matter honey?” Piper asks.
“Well the last time I was here, I was here with Finn.” “How do
you guys get over these things?”
“You don’t.” Leo says.
“But you learn with experience that you can’t dwell on the losses.
Piper says. “You kinder have to”
“Harden your heart?” Paige comments.
“Protect your heart.” “Unfortunately, it’s a fact of life that
sometimes the good comes with a little sadness.”
Leo looks smiling at Melissa dancing as he answers that
question.
“There’s a lot of good, also.”
“There was a lot of good. I mean look at my skin it’s fabulous.”
Piper says. “What they say about the benefits of Clay on your
skins definitely true.” “& now that I’ve been five inches tall, I will
never complain about my height again nor will I doubt your
instincts again.”
“Thank you.” Paige, smiles.
The crowd cheer, as the song finishes & Melissa goes over to the
bar where Mitch & Fletch are serving people.
“Mel hey it must feel good been here again.” Fletch says.
Melissa, smiles. “As soon as Piper puts things back how they
were it will be yeah.”
“So whaddya you want then? You’re usual?”
“Please Fletch thanks.”
“Okay then.”
Fletch goes & does Melissa’s tipple just as she feels Cole
brushing up against her.
“Cole”
She hugs him smiling.
“Hey your back” “A bit soon though huh.”
“Yeah well I managed to shake off the bounty hunters that were
after me so.” “I heard what happened to you with Gamill on the
grape vine though. “You alright?”
“I’m fine.” “Took a few years off me thanks to the Clay which’s
great”
Cole, smiles.
“Well your skin always looks great anyway so.”
Melissa smiles at him.
“Why thank you sir.”
The two of them look at each other nervously. Melissa turns her
head away from him.
“So err do you wanna a drink then?” Melissa asks.
Cole turns his head away also.
“Okay thanks.”
Fletch comes back & hands Mel’s drink.
“Thanks Fletch & get Cole a beer.”
“Coming up”
Fletch goes instead the chiller cabinet & does that. Melissa sips
her drink abundantly as Cole waits for his. Over by the couch Leo
still talks to Paige & Piper.
“Well then if you are going back to the old way honey there’s one
more thing we need to tie up.
“Oh, okay.” Piper says.
Leo leads them out behind the club.
Back Area Behind P Three
"Uh, Leo what're you looking for?" Piper asks.
"Something very important"
"Broken glass?" Paige adds.
"Yes Paige that is correct."
He finds the broken P Three sign.
"Well here it is Piper so what do you wanna do with it? Throw it away or keep and repair it?"
Pausing for a few seconds.
"Keep and repair it." Piper, comments.
Leo nods his head.
"Alright then." He answers.
"It looks like P Three's back."
Paige says.
The camera cranes down & holds on that. Fade to black.
The End
